  The SAP error message WB2B2079 indicates that there is an issue with the decimal places in a value being processed in the system. Specifically, it suggests that a value (represented by &1) is being truncated or rounded to a different value (represented by &2) due to the system's handling of decimal places.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in scenarios where:
  
  The system is trying to process a monetary or quantity value that has more decimal places than allowed by the configuration or the data type.
  The field in which the value is being stored or processed has a defined precision that is less than the precision of the incoming value.

  Data Validation: Before processing the data, validate the input values to ensure they conform to the expected formats and decimal places. This can be done through custom validation logic or by using standard SAP validation techniques.
  
  
  Review Custom Code: If there is any custom code involved in processing the values, review it to ensure that it correctly handles decimal places and does not inadvertently truncate values.
